Self-possession in a young woman is

1t is told of Scotch clergyman that
when he was a child, on going home
from church he was asked the text.

repent, We shall all likewise perish"

examines its own students, but all
must pass this same kind of written
examination. Our universities are not
schools, they are only board of man
ayers and examiners and every college
is part of the university. Only the
university gives degrees after the ex-
animation prepared by the board il
passed. If colleges in America passed
only those students who could pass
such examinations, America would
have less B. AS. and NJ. AS, but oul
VI. AS, would be better scholars than
they are now. Still, while the Ameri-
can plan of letting each college gradu-
ate its own students freely is deficient,
this one test plan, with just SO many
marks in every subject, is also def
cient.
The English language is not only
becoming very common in India but il
is insinuating itself into the Hindustani
at every point. Office, court, police,
"iskiel," jug Gudge,) decree, etc., etc.,
are all good Hindustani words. So at
the railways, all the names about the
road are English. Rel, (rail,) signal,
'isteshan," etc., etc. An American
visitor ut Ouri conference amused the
audience in his closing speech by tell
ing how much Hindustani he had learn
ed by just listening to the talk. He
had learned prichar, tichar, stuard,
lisans, vote, ETC., ETC., nameing a long
list of technical English terms, that are
all good Hindustani words now. Many,
in fact most words become changed
slightly as they pass into Hindustani.
A boy says "middle examination men
try Ria and fel (faiD hua." Passed
becomes "pas," superintendent ''su-
perant," secretary "sekatary," school
"iskiel," assistant "istunt," etc. The
common talk is filling up with these
English words and expressions. SchOl-
ars fight against it but it will come.
A traveller can get on with the English
language now in India much better
than he can in France or Italy. AS the
English language is learned, tempta-
tions as well as opportunities increase.
Hence Incorporate habits often follow,
and desire for everything that looks
like independent thought and action.
Last evening an American-sort of
half disciple of ngersol-whose work
is to oppose Christianity, lectured in
the English language to an audience of
natives in this city.

1t is ten years since James Lick, the
San Francisco millionaire, died, leav-
ing the bulk of his large fortune for
charitable and scientific purposes, yet
the most practical of his bequests-the
training-sc in the trades for young
lads-has never been begun. In their
first ten years of management the Lick
trustees spent $I5O,000 for legal fees.

Erastus Wiman has, it is said,
bought the large and famous steamship
Great Eastern. The price agreed upon
is rumored to be not far from 800, 900.
Those who are acquainted with the
facts say that Mr.. Wiman is to bring
the leviathan over to New York and
anchor her near Staten Island. The
Great Eastern is then to be turned into
a monster place of amusement and will
include within its bulwarks a theatre,
museum, variety show, and restaurant.

AYOuthFaI Criminal.

Richard Smith, Comical and ugly
looking negro brat, about ten years OF
age, was lodged in Jail late Wednes-
day evening charged with murder.
The crime was committed on the farm
OF ]. W. Small, two ald, half miles
from Bartlett, Tuesday, his victim
being the eleven months old infant OF
his uncle, Henry Atkins. The boy
was given 10 Atkins TO raise several
months ago, and the power to correct
aud chsstise went with the burden.
Several days ago the guardian inflicted
a severe dIu 1bing, in fact the youths
resentment rose to such hsa; that a
threat to take fatal vengenCe on the
infantile kid escaped his lips. No
attention was paid to the utteTaDce,
and Tuesday Atkins and his wife
went to aid work as usual, leaving
Richard alone with their offspring.
The child began to cry, wherein on its
keeper took down a loaded shotgun,
placed the muzzle near the victims
head and Ie iOerately pulled the trig-
ger. Alter the crime was consum-
mated the little villain endeavored 10
escape by hidingsunder the bed In a
neighbours house. Constable Eddins
fished him and conveyed him 10 Bart
lett, whei preliminary bearing was
had before Justice Black we'll, who rae
manded him to Jail, His plea is that
the killing Of the Hid was an accident,
the charge Of shot being intended for
q daring rat. He expresses q holy
horror Of hanging, and rays he will be
delighted to remain in jail with Mr..
Mason. D .fl ~
